Be right back. Gotta run down to the Rx for some antiacid and some Kaopectate.

Before the wheels really start turning, HTC has to finish CT. Afterwards Most of their resources will head to ideas from this thread and the wishlist. That is when they will start listening to requests such as, "Along with the new arenas, make a "Original" arena of the MA where all planes are enabled and settings are as they once were in the original MA."

So for now let's sit patiently until HTC get's it going and can start figuring things out, only then will they be able to supply specifics to questions and answers.:aok

Thanks for the Info Lusche. I have no way of seeing the changes for myself for at least another 4 hours.  :aok

I have to say though, my way sounds better. ;)

You guys who can see the arenas....are there any perk planes in the earlier arenas? Are they our current perk planes, are they nonperked later war planes, or what?

thanks for the reply.

that actually makes me much more interested in revisiting the map I was working on. you are right it will be alot less work setting up a small map of bases :aok

<> HiTechCreations folks. good luck with the change, and shame on you making me want to put off bills even more and get back into flying :lol

MAGNIFICENT!  :aok
Back to small maps and reasonable numbers + appropriate matchups.
This will be interesting:
Will the JU87 actually be a fearsom attack plane?
Will the mosquito actually be a fast ride now?
Attack planes actually carrying more bombs that the common fighter?

Great Move HTC! Smaller arenas will enhance game pay and there will always be someplace to find a fight. Keep up the good work and ignore the cry babies.

HT, Pyro:

Can you guys give a breakdown of the planes in the different categories - what's in early, what's in mid, what's in late?

Much appreciated.  Thanks!

There are perk planes in every arena, just like Pyro stated. For example, in early war arena FW190A-5 is a perk ride now. But unfortunately, Spit V is not - but I would guess  the perk values will be adjusted after a short time
